Learn Japanese by watching Japanese beauty gurus on YouTube!

Hey guys! So obviously this isn't the only way to study Japanese but definitely a good way to supplement your learning. Just by subscribing to a couple of Japanese beauty gurus and watching their videos while I eat my dinner I get to practise my Japanese listening. You can also help yourself learn new vocab etc by looking up words or grammar points you don't understand.1) Asahi Sasaki - I've been following this guru for a while, she used to have a previous channel where she did crazy avant-garde looks and still does them sometimes on her new channel. She's seriously talented at make up and pretty funny too. Definitely recommend subbing.

2) Kumamiki - I only discovered this girl recently but her channel is so cute! I want to find more Japanese YouTubers like her who are into alternative/harajuku styles so if you guys know any others let me know!

I've realised the usefulness of this recently when I find myself understanding without having to think really hard about the Japanese and translate it consciously in my head - small steps! Also quite a few of these gurus add English subtitles either occasionally or with every video so even if you aren't learning Japanese it's well worth subscribing to see their tutorials anyways ^^Do you guys subscribe to any Japanese youtubers or other youtubers who speak the language you're learning? xx

Ahhh, well I've always wanted to learn Some Japanese so maybe watching Beauty Vloggers talk it while they're showing us all the pretty makeup will help me pick up things quicker hehe!!! Great tips Georgie!

Great picks! I follow Choicerish already, her make up tutorials are lovely. I also follow quite a few Korean ones but also Cantonese ones (which I find nice to listen to as I speak it 'at home' but they make me feel a bit homesick sometimes!) I'm definitely going to check out these guys too!

This is so nice! Learning other language is not only about reading about its grammar or knowing how to spell words. I loved your suggestions.

Thanks for commenting on my blog! The text was about being ourselves in such a mean society which tries to teach us how we should be. I wrote about how nice it is to be yourself and not what other people want you to be.
